In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Michelle R. Young discusses her debut novel, Gear Heart. It is the first book in a new sci fi trilogy that marries a retro, futuristic steam-punk vibe with an espionage thriller. Michelle found inspiration for her story from a vivid and colorful dream. She dreamt this dream over and over again for year before she finally began to write the story. As a young person, Michelle dealt with two learning disabilities, dysgraphia and ADHD. She hated writing throughout her school years, until college when she discovered writing for fun. That was a turning point for Michelle. Now, she is hard at work on writing books 2 and 3 of her new Gear Heart trilogy. In this episode, I’ll chat with Michelle about her writing journey, how being an artist specializing in oil painting and watercolor has influenced her writing, and her personal motto: If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.
